@askingamy.bsky.socialDefinitely. Then there's the even worse version where someone feels that, because they believe themselves to be intelligent and well educated (perhaps even correctly), the Dunning Kruger effect couldn't possibly apply to them, nor is there ever a need for them to think twice about anything.
